Water Polo
What a year for
water polo!
T
he waterpolo team has had a
few ups and down. With the
cold weather they had colds
as well as poor Johnny with
his appendicitis operation.
All the hard work paid off
when the 2013 Senior
Water Polo team won
the Hutt Valley Schools
competition by a stunning
10 goals to 2 over HIBS.
This ended a great year
for the team who also
won the Wellington
competition in Term 1.
Sports & Cultural
Their coach Joseph, who was over here
from Hungary coaching the Hutt men's
and under 20 NZ men's teams, drilled/
trained the boys every Tuesday and
Thursday mornings between 7-8 a.m.
at Huia pool.
They followed this up with excellent
performances at the recent North
Island Championships and National
Championships where St Bernard’s
finished 5th and 7th respectively.
This was the best result in recent
years and our thanks goes to the
coaching staff of Craig and Suzanne
McGuinness and team manager Karen
Saggers. Well done boys!
High Honours
Congratulations to Jerome McGuinness, Jack Ross and
Mataio Pou who, following from their excellent performance at
the National Championships, have been selected to trial for the
